About 500 persons assem- bled al thu
CitiEsns' Baseball Park Yesterday AT
ternooh to witness the second and last
game OF ball between Baumgartner's
aggregation Of Shamrocks from the
town OF Syracuse, in the State OF New
York, snd the Browns OF Memphis,
which city, as everybody knows, is in
the Slate CT Tennessee. The visitors
came here with the intention to wipe
cut Of existence our boys, better known
as the Memphis Browns. but in this
they were very badly fooled. Icstesd
OF taking the much loved clover from
US, as they expected, we-CoDnie
Doyle and "0ld Man" Phelan in
cluded-took the "shamrocks" away
from Bsumgsrtner in two games and
last night sent them to Nashville
where, they say, in order to get even
they will take the scalps OF Bradley's
men. Yesterday was fine day for
the national pastime, but the crowd at
the park was not as large as was ex-
peCted. Those who failed TO 90 out
missed fine game. Though there
were no difficult flies caught nor any
fine pickups or stops made, still the
players were into the game with all
their heart, and played to win. The
audience, which included a goodly
number OF ladies, was impartial, and
whenever G rod play was made, no
matter on whose eide the player ap-
peared, he was heartily applauded.
